Video: Jesse Melamed, Rémi Gauvin, and ALN in The Jank Files - Ep.1

Long flights, technical tracks, and practicing all week in the sunshine only to end up racing in the rain. The best way to describe enduro other than flat-out demanding is to have a laugh at the ridiculousness of it all and call a spade a spade. It’s janky. It's nearly impossible to find your flow between travel, practice, and race day, but when you do and it all starts to click into place, it becomes one of the most rewarding ways to ride a bike.

This is the second year for the Rocky Mountain Race Face Enduro Team, with Jesse Melamed, Rémi Gauvin, and Andréanne Lanthier Nadeau lining up to race a full EWS season. Gaining momentum from last year, they’ve become experts in navigating the jank and have officially hit their flow with a strong start to the 2019 season.

From deep ruts and jungle vines to backyard skateboard sessions and race pit DJ’ing, this is Episode 1 of The Jank Files.

Andre’s Espresso Forge, best portable espresso machine I’ve ever used, and seems like a really stand up guy from a chats with him in relation to an automated espresso machine start-up that we were both early adopters. The machines are super reasonably priced and can be found here: espressoforge.com

@xy9ine: Whoah, those ARE expensive. Take a look at www.espressoforge.com (the one in the pics in the story) they’re way less complicated and cost less than half what Portaspresso is asking ($350vs$800) once you factor in the tripod and pressure gauge.

I've watched just about every EWS team video worth watching. This is definitely my favourite. Love seeing a bit more of the team personalities and BTS stuff. Great promotion for Rocky Mountain and sponsors. Give us moreeeee!
